WASHINGTON PARK SPOTLIGHT: CHARMING SMILES DENTISTRY

Charming Smiles Dentistry is a dental practice in the Washington Park complex on Washington Street and Avenue 47.

The doctors at Charming Smiles have over 20 years of experience, and with state-ofthe-art equipment for conducting 3D scans and CT scans, Charming Smiles provides excellent dental treatment to residents of La Quinta and the Coachella Valley.

The practice offers advanced orthodontic treatments, also known as ‘invisible braces,’ which consist of removable, interchangeable trays. An evaluation is made by Dr. Alexander, a board-certified orthodontist.

Cosmetic treatments and teeth whitening are also available at Charming Smiles – performed by the general dentist, Dr. Nieto.

Charming Smiles has an exceptional oral surgeon as well – Dr. Chung. Those suffering from dental pain can consult with Dr. Chung about how dental implants could replace those teeth causing discomfort.

Everything that is present in the mouth contributes to a person’s general health. Teeth in poor condition affect gum health, and if gums are infected, it generates bone loss that leads to tooth loss. When teeth are lost, chewing and facial muscles are lost which affects the digestive system and facial appearance.

The goal of the team at Charming Smiles is to prevent tooth loss and maintain maximum oral health. Annual check-ups are crucial for identifying dental issues early on so they can be addressed.

Charming Smiles offers a few tips if you have dental pain that suddenly appears:

1. Take a pain reliever that you find in a pharmacy (over-the-counter, without a prescription)

2. Avoid eating hot and/or cold foods

3. Go to sleep with two pillows so that your head is higher than your shoulders when you sleep

4. Consult with your dentist as soon as possible for an evaluation
